On properties of dependent progressively Type-II censored order statistics

In the context of life-testing, progressive censoring has been studied extensively. But, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units under test are independently distributed. In this paper, we consider progressively Type-II censored order statistics (PCOS-II) arising from dependent units that are jointly distributed according to an Archimedean copula. Density and distribution functions of dependent general …
